Dryer vent cleaning
in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Bedford-Stuyvesant has more brownstones than anywhere else in Brooklyn — over 8,800. The vent runs vary wildly: some original 1880s ductwork, some 1990s renovations, some 2020s pop-tops. No two are alike.
Why Bedford-Stuyvesant specifically
We know the vent runs in Bedford-Stuyvesant homes.
Bed-Stuy brownstones are notorious for vent lines that were rerouted during renovations and never properly inspected afterwards. We've found vent ducts that dead-end behind drywall, ducts vented into attic crawl spaces (illegal and a fire hazard), and crushed flex hose buried behind kitchen cabinets. Every Bed-Stuy first-clean is more of an inspection than a service.
“We did a full gut renovation on our brownstone in 2019 and never thought about the dryer vent again. Three years later it was barely drying. Vent Pro NYC found the contractor had vented the dryer into the attic — total fire hazard. They fixed the run AND cleaned it in one visit.”

“The danger you can’t see is already building up.”
The U.S. Fire Administration logs nearly 15,000 dryer fires every year — and almost a third trace back to a single, preventable cause: lint buildup. Cleaning your vent isn't maintenance. It's insurance.
- Prevent fire hazards
- Lint is the #1 cause of dryer fires in the U.S. Removing it is the single highest-leverage thing you can do for home safety.
- Cut your energy bill
- A clogged vent forces your dryer to work harder. Customers report 20–35% lower drying costs after a single cleaning.
- Faster drying cycles
- Stop running the same load twice. Most dryers go from 90-minute cycles back to 45 after a deep vent cleaning.
- Add years to your dryer
- Heat trapped in a clogged system burns out heating elements and motors. Annual cleaning is the cheapest extended warranty there is.
One visit. Four steps. A dryer that runs like new.
Most jobs take under an hour. No mess, no disruption, no surprises on the invoice. Repairs, replacement parts, sanitizing treatments, vent covers, and hoses are quoted separately and added only with your approval.

Inspection & airflow test
We measure your current dryer airflow and inspect the full vent run from drum to roof or wall cap. You see the baseline before we touch anything.
- 02
Deep mechanical clean
A high-RPM rotary brush travels the full length of the duct, breaking up compacted lint while a HEPA vacuum captures every particle at the source.
- 03
Connection check & re-seal
We re-seat the transition hose, seal the vent connection, and check the exterior cover. If anything needs repair, replacement, or an add-on treatment, we quote it first — nothing extra happens without your approval.
- 04
Verification report
A second airflow reading proves the work. You leave with a written report — and most customers see drying times cut by a third on their next load.
Real photos, real jobs
This is what we pull out of a dryer vent.
No stock photos. Every one of these is from an actual dryer-vent cleaning in a Brooklyn or NYC home — the packed lint, the buildup behind the machine, the odd bird’s nest, and the piles we pulled out to the curb or cleared from the roof when that’s the only way in.

Front-load washer? Add the gasket mold cleaning to the same visit.
That black ring inside the rubber door seal is mold — it’s why laundry can come out smelling musty no matter what you wash it with. While we’re at your home for the dryer vent, we can clean the gasket with our own in-house solutions and treat the rubber so mold has a much harder time moving back in. About 30 minutes, no second appointment.
- Laundry smells musty straight out of the machine
- A black ring inside the rubber door seal
- The smell comes back days after a tub-clean cycle
$149.99added to any dryer vent cleaning
One honest note: removing the black stains isn't guaranteed. Stains soak into the rubber itself, so on most jobs they fade a little rather than disappear — but the mold in and around them is completely gone.

I knew something was up when my clothing was taking forever to dry but when the check vent light went on I knew it was a fire hazard. Eyal responded to my text in minutes, booked an appointment on the spot for the next day and showed up on time. He didn't mind that I was standing over to watch the whole process and boy was it satisfying. I couldn't believe the lint that was living in the dryer, behind the wall and at the exit vent on the side of my house. This is not the DIY job you think it is. well worth the visit!

The reason I started Vent Pro NYC was a fire.
A close friend lost half his home to a dryer fire that started in a vent nobody had thought twice about. He wasn't careless. The vent was simply hidden infrastructure — until it wasn't.
For the last decade I've worked with fire departments and appliance manufacturers to develop a cleaning process that actually proves itself with measurements, not promises. Every visit ends with a report you can keep.
Today Vent Pro NYC is family-owned and operated in the fullest sense — my son works alongside me, and the family that answers your call is the family that shows up at your door.
If you're reading this, you're already ahead of the curve. Most people only call after something goes wrong. Let's make sure that's not your story.

Pets in the house? Your dryer vent fills up faster.
Dogs and cats mean more hair — and it doesn’t all end up on the couch. Pet beds, blankets, towels, and fur-covered clothes shed fibers that pack into your dryer vent far faster than in a pet-free home. A clogged vent means longer drying, higher energy bills, more wear on the machine, and a real fire risk.
- One or two moderate sheddersevery 6–8 mo
- Multiple pets or heavy sheddersevery 3–6 mo
- Washing pet bedding weeklyevery 3–4 mo
Most pet-free homes only need a yearly cleaning.
- Clothes need more than one cycle to dry
- The dryer runs hot to the touch, or gives off a burning smell
- Little or no air from the outside vent while it’s running
- A faint pet-fur smell in the laundry room when the dryer’s running
